Want to make BIG, Looooong URL Links.......tiny? Here's how.

Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 06:35 PM by Dover

I know...BIGGER is usually better. But not in the case of long URL's that you want to post.

Just copy the URL you want to include in your post and go to this web page http://tinyurl.com/
then paste it into the window. It will give you a shortened version of your URL link to use. Quick and easy.

1. Actually, all you have to do is post the link.

Now the links are made short automatically:
